What is the biggest size flares I can use with 18x9.5 +6 ? Considering 75mm but I think that might be to big??

I'd run 150mm just to be safe.

Shouldn't this question be "What is the smallest flare required?" You would need ~50mm extra clearance to answer your question. IMO anything over 25mm isn't really a "flare", you are in widebody territory. I would highly recommend reconsidering your wheel specs.

If you ran a 205 tire and rolled the fender flat + a little pull, you could probably fit them with -8 degrees of camber. If you pull the fenders using the phone book method, the fenders should nicely mold right around the tire/wheel.

Please report back. I want to check the KBB values after you finish.

Phonebook method ftw

who even makes a 75mm flare?

DrakeValle

I think the not-to-be-mentioned CG flares are 75mm. Not sure if that's actually the extra clearance they give, or just how far they stick out.

Yeah thats the main one. I think the newer J's widebody is close and the M&M Honda kit is even wider. If you are going to do this why not get custom wheels that are 11 inches wide so you can at least fit a wide tire on there. 18x9.5 can be fit on a stock body S2000 with a roll and the right offset.

That makes a little more sense then. It's tough to decipher what some people are really asking with these vague questions.


Hell, you can fit 11" on a stock body.

Back to the original question, I would say that those wheels specs would be too weak for those flares to look decent. As mentioned by Manga_Spawn, step up to at least 11" rear. I think HighwaystarDoritos is running a 13" +20 to give you an idea what can fit.

Manga_Spawn

Yup you sure can. As for that picture do I spy OEM lug on those wheels??? I really hope not.

Almost looks like oem lugs with a wheel lock
